Organ Monk: Uwo In the Black

Read "Organ Monk: Uwo In the Black" reviewed by Howard Mandel

by Howard Mandel

Organ Monk is the inspired--some might say “mad"--project of Brooklyn-based keyboardist Greg Lewis to play the unique compositions of Thelonious Monk as they've never been played before. Lewis throws down Monk's memorable turns of melody and digs into his harmonic insights, mostly at groovin' rhythms, on the Hammond C 3 organ. It's tempting to say Lewis' ...

Marvin Blague: Epistrophal Astronomy: The Hidden Code of Thelonious Monk

Read "Epistrophal Astronomy: The Hidden Code of Thelonious Monk" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

If you've ever wondered what planet Thelonious Monk came from, you are not alone. According to Marvin Blague, you're not wrong to wonder either.
